My Journey to a Quiet Life

• Saturday, January 12, 2008 - I am back..... we were invaded by toxic mold!

We had a family situation.  We found toxic mold in the walls of our home and had to evacuate.  We have found another home to live in for a year.  We had to sign a year lease with the owner.

About our house.  We were buying our home that was over priced anyway, but we are young, then our taxes went up so much our house payment skyrocketted an extra $200 a month, then we find toxic mold in our home so we can't live in it and our home owners insurance will not pay for the damage.

We are currently foreclosing on the home.  We can not afford to pay for two places to live and the damage from the mold that may or may not be fixable.  I sure do not know what God has planned but I sure feel like he is freeing up our lives for something wonderful.

As you all know we are extremely new to the idea of homesteading.  It is something we desperately want for our family.  We just are not quite sure how to get there.  I know that God has a plan though and that is all I need to know.  Right now he has us exactly where he wants us to work on us like he has never done before.  I pray that we continue to allow him to refine us.

My beliefs have changed so drastically in the last year my family doesn't know what to do with us.  But oh do I know what I am doing.  I am totally surrendering it to Christ.  Giving it all to him.  I get so excited.  I just don't want none of it.  The world I mean.

Give me a quite life Lord, a sanctified life, a holy life, and a life that Glorifies you oh God.

I pray I have time to keep this Blog up.  It is nice to be able to just write what is on my mind.  After a day doing all the chores and taking care of my precious little ones it is nice to have somewhere to go to just give glory to God with like minded women.  Praise God for you all.  I enjoy reading your blogs they are a blessing.

My family doesn't know what to think about us either. I admire you. In the midst of chaos you seem to have a gentle and quiet spirit. Blessings to you and yours!

As Farrah said, you sound quiet about this, praise God for that. I personally would have not been so quiet, lol. By the way I recently found some mold on my ceiling under some tiles that came down. How do you know if the mold is toxic or not? Did you have someone come to your home and test it or something? Please send me a message with you answer if you have time. I just cleaned it off with some bleach cleaner but am worried that it is elswhere in my home. .........Thanks in advance........Kitty

So sorry about all the home problems and the mold!!! How tragic!!! But better to get out and not make your family sick!

You follow your own convictions on beliefs and homesteading, etc. and don't let your family make you feel weird for doing it. Simply tell them I answer to God and not you about how I live my life and raise the children, but thank you for your concern.

God's Blessings,
